100% Environmentally-Focused College in Vermont
Nestled in a rural Vermont village, Sterling offers two-year and four-year undergraduate degrees in Environmental Studies. We provide a liberal arts education that uses the local farms, forests, rivers, and wetlands as our classrooms. With a small student body of fewer than 100 students in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont, we foster a tight-knit community that prides itself on sustainable and socially responsible living. At Sterling, we give you the opportunity to roll your sleeves up and learn in a very hands-on, experiential way to prepare you to challenge the status quo. Sterling, where small is better.
You will likely thrive here at Sterling if …
You love being outdoors (or aspire to love it!)
You enjoy new challenges.
You have passions you want to explore.
You want to be on a first-name basis with our faculty & staff.
You are solution-oriented.
You are independent.
You find enjoyment in hard work.
You are a doer.
You are curious.
